Damn I already miss Community. You'll probably see John Oliver often enough though, he seems to make a cameo in every other good comedy show. But on climate change: one of the larges problems is that climate change is not bad enough yet to be really seen as a problem by the general public. And normal fluctuations cause disbelief in the rise of temperature - I recall a couple of years ago, when Obama opened a climate top in Denmark or something which was covered in thick snow, talking about how rising temperatures are becoming a bigger issue. A lot of people don't know that what we mean by climate is at least 50 years long, but often much more.
